Um maybe I'm missing something but I get spare keys made at Ace Hardware for 5 bucks. They already have the uncut keys, and you can even pick a design. I got a chevy key.

Your name cracks me up for some reason. It sounds like something you would hear in the following:

"Man, lunch just caught up to me. I need to go take a huge omega doom..."

Ace is one of the few places that has the chip reader. There's only 12 codes

The "chip" in these keys is simply a resistor. You can find out which key blank you need with a simple digital ohmmeter. Use this chart to figure out which blank you need:

http://www.thirdgen.org/vats_passkey_system

You can buy blanks on ebay, but they're still cheap at the dealer. These aren't the $80 transponder keys, but more like $15 blanks. Or you could buy online, and have them cut anywhere.
